Experience as an Amazon associate
I've been an Amazon associate for eleven (11) years. I've made a lot of mistakes along the way and learned allot. Here is a few things that I feel are important in turning a profit as an Amazon Associate.
1. Be very aware that Amazon has a very aggressive marketing machine (monster). This is where many associates get clobbered, especially in the beginning. Amazon's market machine has very deep pockets and feed on anything in its way, including its own associates. Never forget this!
2. While the widgets, links, and AStore are all nice eye candy, they won't do much for profit. You'll get some money from them but nothing compared to what I describe below.
3. Your product list is extremely important. Here is where you will burn in a very bad way if you don't plan well.
4. The best sales come from a custom site built around ONE SINGLE PRODUCT or BRAND. This is why picking your product/brand can be so difficult. If your product or brand is to general, you'll run into Amazon's marketing machine. On the other hand, if your product/brand is too nichey, you'll run into limited demand.
5. Your knowledge of the product/brand MUST be very broad and accurate. The more intimate knowledge you possess about your product/brand, the easier time you'll have designing an entire site around the product/brand.
6. Now for the one point that is hardly ever discussed. The price of the product/brand must be considered as a part of the selection process. If its too cheap, you'll never make any real money as you'll burn through your profits faster then you can earn them. If the product/brand is too expensive, you won't make enough sales to sustain your business.
There are plenty of other tips, but these are the ones I believe to be the most important.
After my first 2 years of losing over 10K in internet marketing SCAMS, I am now a 6+ year IM veteran with lots of experience building Niche Sites, Ecomm Stores & running PPC campaigns. I've made most of my money through Affiliate Marketing, Adsense & Infoproducts. I promise to provide lots of FREE VALUE from all my experience over the past decade!
